Beginner help

I've been lifting and supplementing for awhile, but supplements and lifting won't get you anything with a bad diet. I've been trying to start a bulking diet and I've been with it for approx. 3 weeks and I can't see any difference. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if I'm just expecting things too early. I'm 6'0 at 170.

My diet
In the morning I eat oat meal with an apple or banana with fish oil. with usplabs test powder and 3 caps of prime

So how many calories is that? If you aren't gaining any weight with that add 500 more calories. You'll also want to aim for around 1g protein per bodyweight, 0.5g fat per bodyweight and fill the rest in with carbs. General rule

What are some other foods I should include to give me those calories? I'm allergic to peanuts and I know they are a good source so I need an alternative

I've definitely been in your shoes as a beginner and I can relate as to what you are thinking *atleast I think*. Your just overthinking it. Eat 500 calories of whatever you want. Best bet is to add up what you are currently eating and see where you are at. Count your pro/fat/carbs as well

This. That doesn't seem like a lot of calories for somebody trying to bulk.

Research and learn how to count your macros,this will help you greatly.The meals you layed out are no where near what a bulk should consist of,I easily eat close to that or more by lunch time when I am bulking.

No prob bro. I didn't really prepare myself as well as I should have. I'm just having a difficult time figuring out what to eat and when.

It doesn't really matter when you eat. Just try to get the 1g protein x BW and 0.5g fat x BW, then fill the rest in with carbs or more protein. I can bulk on 3k calories but right now i'm at 2.5k maintaining weight at 180, btw 5'10". I keep it very simple *aka same thing everyday* because I don't mind eating the same thing everyday. It's easier for me that way:

I'm also on the intermittent fasting protocol, where I try to eat all of this within an 8 hour window...normally I finish within 4-6 hours

I can see why you might say it doesnt matter what you eat,as some people dont care to do a dirty bulk.The calories do still need to be as clean as possible within reason,he needs to watch his sugars and sodium and all the common bad things we all know of.I could go on a dirty bulk and gain an unheard of amount of weight,but who wants to gain all that bad weight,the cleaner his diet the cleaner his gains.

I agree with you on that it matters what you eat, I had said when though. Definitely keep the foods you eat clean, real foods will keep you full and allow you to eat more. Hell, I could be eating 24oz of chicken a day and hit the same amount of calories than the 12oz of beef.

For the OP, check out myfitness pal. It made figuring out my diet so much easier because of the amount of data they have collected on the nutritional values of like every food. I was reluctant at first to try something new out, but dam it made life sooooo much easier.
